Game Gear price

[doogy]

Hello all,

I have a Game Gear that has served me well since I got it at launch...

But, alas, it is getting old, and the display is growing dim and the screen is becoming scuffed and scratched.

What is a good price for a brand new Game Gear?

Thanks,
doogy

Wouldn't pay more than $5. Now, if had it a decent amount of games, then you could probably get up to $50

You have to buy it with meseta earned. I think it costs around 300 meseta. Keep posting and you'll get it in no time.

$50 could get you...hmm...just about a complete collection I'd think Better have some boxed games for that much!

Personally, a GG + 6 or so games shouldn't run more than $10. Seriously. I paid something like $30 for two GGs recently, that both came with their adapters, a bunch of carts, and a Wide Gear (DEFINITELY get a Wide Gear if you haven't already).

You need to buy your sig in the shop.

As for the price of a GG, I'd pay a tenner for a loose one in real nice condition with a good screen. Even Gamestation have them for £20. So about $15-30ish then.

Gamegears are cool, even moreso now the guys at SMSPower have perfected the GG-TV. I remember having one years ago with Castle of Illusion, GG Shinobi, Sonic and a dodgy HK pirate cart I never used, that contained 9 glitchy games (Monaco GP, Wonderboy, Columns etc..) that you changed via a dodgy purple button on the cart.

, I already have a decent amount of games and I can pick more up... But I'm talking about a Game Gear in BRAND NEW condition... sealed... or perfect with no scratches at all... in box...

How much?

[doogy]

Oh, and thanks for letting me know about the sig...

[Pantechnicon]

$15 - $25 max for a Game Gear in good shape. $10 max for a Majesco. Don't buy a Majesco...

[CosmicMonkey]

Yeah, you want one that has coloured ovals in the GG logo on the left of the screen. If not, its a Majesco and it won't work with the TV tuner and has shitty build quality.

[doogy]

Ok, well the one I'm looking at is "New in box" and it's a Sega Game Gear box... so, that's the right one... right? The Majesco one would be packaged differently, correct?

Thanks,
doogy

[Poofta!]

how can i tell if its a majesco from looking at the box?

If you want one here you go...

Ebay - NEW In Box

GameGear's aren't worth squat to me, but some people go crazy (well, as crazy as you can get over a GameGear)... espessially with NO scratches on the screen or anything. I'd say $20 would be a good max for an absolute mint one.

I agree, Game Gears really aren't worth anything anymore. I was going to pick up a bundle with a game gear in good shape and some games for around $30 with hope to resell it but I would only have gotten maybe an extra $5 for it all!
